A man living at the City Mission was arrested this week and charged with punching a woman in the face and threatening to stab her with a lock-blade knife outside the East Tupper Street mission, Buffalo police said.

James E. McGeachy, 53, who listed his address as mission, was arrested about 6 p.m. Tuesday by officers who reported they recovered a knife from him.

A woman told police she got into an argument with McGeachy and he punched her in the face repeatedly and threatened to stab her with the knife he was holding.
